This book consists of three detailed course outlines of Prof Azzopardi: on
Epistemology; on Phenomenon of Religion and on Religious Language. Retaining its classic
sense and open to incessant search for truth, this book tries to dialogue between Indian
and Christian philosophies. This scholarly work is a major contribution to Indian
philosophy and Scholastic tradition. Professor Azzopardi's passion for philosophizing is
evident on every page of this book!
